Class Feedback

After screening our title sequence to the class we got audience feedback. We got a range of good and bad feedback which is good so it then is giving us the opportunity to improve what needs improved the class mostly mentioned about the camera being very shaky in some shots which we agreed with as we already knew that there had been some shots that weren’t as successful as others although we did try and resolve these faults by trying to overlap the shots when we were editing all the clips together. In our storyboards we mentioned that we were going to feature a nursery rhyme into our sequence although when we were editing we decided that we didn’t think that it went well with the shots we had done and we felt that it made the sequence seem cheesy. Although the class have mentioned that they think that we should include it into the sequence, they said that it would make it more creepy or that we should include some children giggling to give it that eerie atmosphere, but as a group we are still unsure of what our decision is going to be.

Re-Edited title sequence

Editing

We have gone back into our title sequence and started to change the colour of the font as that was the main fault with the feedback that we got back from the class so we went for a white so it was easier for the audience to see, the red was foreshadowing the horror genre and we didn’t want the audience to loose sight of the horror genre we were going for with our title sequence. We have kept the same font ‘Nervous’ for now and we  can then see the feedback we get from the change in colour. However, for the last word in our sequence is the films title we decided that we were just going to change the brightness of the red as the white made the clarity even worse. We have shown our new edited sequence to some students and they have said that they are able to see the font a lot more clear than what they could when it was red, we are hoping to keep the original font as it connotes the horror genre and we think it fits in well with the sequence itself.

Feedback Editing

Since we got the feedback from our blog we have started to look at different fonts we could use as we have been told that the font colour should be changed as it wasn’t the right colour. This was the main fault that the class pointed out that needed to be changed also they mentioned how the typography itself should be re-positioned. We are trying to find another font type that will fit in with our genre type but we also didn’t want it too seem too boring or fit into another genre, it is difficult trying to find a font that we like and that the audience will like. We have found Supernatural Knight but we felt that it might come across as too boring, we have also found Ed Gein although we think that this goes totally out of our genre and into more of the slasher genre and we want to make sure that the audience don’t forget that the genre we have gone for is the horror genre for our title sequence.

Production

We finally finished the editing to our title sequence and were very pleased with the outcome; even though the server had been down a few times when we tried editing we managed to get everything edited into the final piece. I think that we have stayed true to our story boards but may have made slight changes within the filming as we didn’t think it would fit in with the genre of our film and we didn’t want it to end up sounding cheesy. We were originally going to have a nursery rhyme in the title sequence but once we had done all the shots for our sequence we thought that it wouldn’t go well with it as it wasn’t given the horror/eerie effect that we wouldn’t it to, so we decided not to add it into it. We also cut out a part that was on the story boards as once we had done all the shots we then thought that it didn’t look as good as we thought it would so we ended up not featuring it into our title sequence.

Typography

We finally decided on the typography for our title sequence, we found it on da font it was called ‘Nervous’ we thought that it looked good and it was appropriate for our sequence. We chose to put the typography into red to connote horror, we also looked at a few other types like Night Bird and Feast Flesh. 

These are the other two that we also looked at but we thought that 'Nervous' fitted better with our genre.
